If you want to get technical about it I believe the term for these is 'neologisms.' However this typically refers to spoken words IIRC. Also, these words are particularly devised as homophones for commonly misspelled words.

So, 'neohomophonisms' might work.

Or, to satisfy OOT, how about just 'H0MOisms'

very nice. neologism is probably about as close to defining this as word could be without being internet specific. great vocab man...
